Happy Canada Day & Independence Day!

and it is Canada Day on July 1st, so close to our Independence Day celebration,

I wanted to combine the two holidays

and wish all those out there a blessed holiday celebration.

~*~

My dear mother-in-law would always say,

"I don't know why these two countries will not become one".

She was so cute...

From the time she was a young girl, she traveled to the States,
so she knows both sides.

She always felt that Canada and the United States

were very much the same and that Canada should join the United States.
Her thoughts were wonderful, but in her life time that did not take place.
But we can sure celebrate with and for one another!.
~*~

God's Word tells us in Psalm 33:12a

"Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord".

~*~

That pretty well say's it all!

~*~Let All the World in Every Corner Sing

Let all the world in every corner sing: My God and King!The heavens are not too high, His praise may thither fly;The earth is not too low, His praises there may grow.Let all the world in every corner sing; My God and King!~*****~Let all the world in every corner sing: My God and King!The church with psalms must shout, no door can keep them out:But, more than all, the heart must bear the longest part.Let all the world in every corner sing: My God and King! ~*~
Where ever your corner of the world is,
make God your King, and your Lord,
singing praises and glory to His Holy name..
~*~
The chorus to "Battle Hymn of the Republic" is,"Glory glory hallelujah! Glory glory hallelujah!Glory glory hallelujah! His truth is marching on".
God's Truth is marching on day by day.
Regardless of what is taking place all around the world,
He is God, and He is King.
All nation's belong to Him.He is in His holy temple, and His throne is in heaven. (Psalm11:4)~*~
Are you marching on with God, singing glory glory hallelujah?~*~

Our precious Heavenly Father.
Make us a people who's God is their Lord.
Create in us a heart and a passion to march on with the Truth of the Gospel,
singing glory glory hallelujah no matter what is going on all around us.
May we walk in faith trusting You, in each of our corners of the world.
Amen.

Hi Debbie, such a beautiful post and wonderful thought that maybe could happen someday. Blessings to you and your hubby celebrating both holidays.Congrats on your win from Denise too. So happy for you.Blessings my friend.Hugs

I hope you had a fun Canada Day, Debbie. I had a ball with friends and family, despite the thunderstorms rolling in and out. I love that the US and Canada are so similar in so many ways yet we have a distinct personalities as well. It's great to be such good neighbours.I hope your 4th of July is loads of fun. Such a lovely post - thank you!

Hello Debbie. What a wonderful post. Your mother-in-law sounds like a very wise woman. Canada is so beautiful as well as a great neighbor. Thanks so much for sweet and kind words. I am so happy to welcome you.

Hi Debbie! Happy country birthdays to both of you! How lovely of you to respect your husband's place of birth. I have been to Canada, and I don't think everyone is so interested in joining the USA! It's lovely to read that your MIL wanted that, but she knew you! And you were a lovely American woman :)

Too funny! Part of the States?? Our son has wondered that from time to time as well. We cross the border so frequently that it sometimes feels like we are a part of your country. I like your photo of the two flags. Happy Canada Day and Independence Day to you both! :)

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. -Colossians 3:15-17
